SAW-HAN DLE.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 459,652, datedSeptember 15, 1891.

Application filed January 14, 1891- $erial No. 377,705. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, ALLISON M. RosooE, a citizen of the United States,residing at Dubois, in the county of Clearfield and State ofPennsylvania, have invented certain new and useful Improvements inSaw-Handles; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear,and exact description of the invention, such as will enable othersskilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same.

This invention relates to handles for crosscut saws, and aims to providea handle that can be readily attached to and detached from the saw, andwhich when in position will grip the saw firmly and prevent lateralbuckling thereof on the line of tension of the compressing or grippingcontrivance.

The improvement consists of the novel features and the peculiarconstruction and combinat-ion of the parts which will be hereinaftermore fully described and claimed, and which are shown in the annexeddrawings, in which Figure l is a side view, parts being broken away, ofa handle embodying my invention, showing its application to the end of acrosscut saw. Fig. 2 is a cross-section on the line X X of Fig. 1,showing the upper portion of the handle in full. Fig. 3 is a detachedview of the handle-socket. Fig. 4 is a detached view of the revolubledisk. Fig. 5 is a detached view of the saw-receiving socket.

The socket A, which is constructed to receive the handle 0, the latterbeing held in the socket by the screw or similar fastening E, isprovided with a threaded portion a, on which screws the saw-socket D,the latter being internally threaded at d to correspond with thethreaded portion a of the socket A. The slot d in the socket D is justwide enough to receive the saw F and prevent the latter springinglaterally when the saw is clamped in the socket D. The disk G is securedto the lower end of the socket A by the rivet or stud g in such a manneras to turn freely and independently thereof.

In assembling the parts the end of the saw is thrust through the slot din thesocket D, and the socket Ais inserted in the upper end of thesocket D and screwed down therein until the disk G bears on the upperedge of the saw with sufficient pressure to clampthe saw in the slot dbetween the lower closed end of the said slot d and the disk G. Byhaving the disk G revoluble the handle 0 can turn while the said disk isheld firmly in engagement with the saw, thereby preventing injury to thesaw and facilitating the process of clamping and unclamping the saw.

Having thus described my invention, What I claim, and desire to secureby Letters Patent, is

1. The combination, with thesocket D, having a slot through its sides toreceive the saw and havingits upper end internally threaded, of thesocket A, having the eXteriorly-threaded portion a to screw into thesocket D, and the disk G interposed between the upper edge of the sawand the lower end of the socket A and having stud g, which enters thelower end of the said socket A and forms a positive connection betweenthe said disk and the aforesaid socket A, substantially as described.

2. The combination of the socket D, tapering at its lower end and havingits upper end internally threaded and having slot d in its side, the sawhaving its end thrust through the said slot d, the socket A, havingexternally-threaded portion a to screw into the socket'B, the handle 0,fastened in socket A, and the disk G placed against the end of socket Aand having stud g, which forms a positive connection and journal betweenthe aforesaid socket A and the disk, substantially as and for thepurpose described.

In testimony whereof I affix my signature in presence of two witnesses.

ALLISON M. ROSOOE.
